Don't suppose you ever got hold of the Carl Cox mix from the PSB's show, did you? At the time it was one of those mixes that didn't leave my Walkman for months... I found a third-generation copy of it in amongst some old tapes a few years ago but the quality's really hissy. Don't worry if not, I'm just pleased there's a tracklisting of sorts out there!

10000 Spoons - sorry mate, haven't found it yet. I think I might have a rubbish copy on mp3 somewhere but it's got lost in a pile of CDs. I'm after a better copy really. Rip yours if you like, if you do it at a decent quality (320k) I might be able to clean it up a bit, depending how bad it is.

Is this the one with Kenny Ken, Frankie Knuckles & Sasha? If it isn't, I've got that I can post. I believe they stood in for Simon Bates.

Hey Rich, it's only got the Frankie Knuckles one and it cuts off before the end. I do have some of the others from that year here somewhere, but they are really poor quality. Is your one reasonably good quality? You're probably right about Simon Bates. Was it still Bates they were standing in for the next year?

I got them from here: http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37379 ..and the links are still live. Permanently hosted by the looks of it. Decent sound quality too.

Pirate Archive Updates - March 2009

ELECTRO MAGNETIC INSTALLATION

FRAN'S PIRATE RADIO

These are from a couple of weeks back, sorry I've been a bit lazy with the blog lately :)

ALSO: More Black FM and Flight FM tapes have been uploaded. You can see it all at http://www.thepiratearchive.net/stations.html

:)

Electro Magnetic Installation

One old pirate I used to listen to from mid 91 to 1992 was EMI (Electro Magnetic Installation)...

http://www.irational.org/heath/electro_magnetic_installation/

It wasn't until just a moment ago when hunting down material for this blog, that I stumbled upon it's web-page on the irational.org site, linked above and learned of it's true name. I've only ever heard it referred to it as 'Demystified Radio' before, as the nature of the station was to never announce itself properly, to confuse the listener (maybe) but also to invite the listener to make their own audio art, to tape discussions or simply send in their home-made mix tapes. The station may well have had strong links with SYT, surfacing as it did on the same day that SYT made a return to the airwaves in 1991, after SYT had been off the air since mid 1989.

I have only one recording of the station and currently it is in my loft gathering dust. I will make an effort to retrieve it though.
